There are now a lot more facial morphs in iClone, so if you use CC characters that would be easier. The Facial Key option makes these available, for example.

Read through this post and i hoped to find a better answer.. I got curious how this all works from another post and started to investigate but when loading in an audiofile and finding it's off by about 8 - 10 frames( counting the initial transient and where the bulk starts maybe another 2 frames)  so between 8 - 12 frames early.. it gets tedious to compensate for this and get a working result when you see is not what you get.. i find this useless

One (crappy) workaround could be using a 3'rdparty app like Pure Ref - take screenshot of the audiofile zoomed out and lay it ontop on the current visual representation in to get a reference to place the pnonemes against.. but.. how hard would it be to add a timeshift function in iclone so the visual and audio always would be in sync.. this would help tremendously.

As i see it now knowing the limitations other tools like what Mike's using  (papagayo) seems to be the only option.


This is a silent signature

The good news is this will be improved -- we know they are working on a much better system and IIRC it *should* be before the end of the year (but I'm old and don't necessarily remember -- search here for the timeline and you might find more details).

So -- if you have patience you will be rewarded.
